@magic.wizards.com thanks to entomb and jank reanimator combo all my decks are 54 cards plus four surgical extractions main deck. Feels like graveyard combo decks are literally the entire scene right now on arena. I wonder if this is affecting sales, until it affects sales literally nothing happe

The best part of constantly seeing authoritarian violence exercised with no pushback, is that it is condoning people to be passive and create manufactured helplessness. Until the feed is flooded with videos of ice being melted, this is just the newest version of Elsa gate.

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.

deradicalization does not work at scale. not if the goal is explicitly to deradicalize. but people do like to back winners and feel like momentum is behind whatever they're doing. build a movement that can reach and inspire the young men who don't suck and some one ones who do will derad themselves

Got into a fight with my girlfriend because *her* parents are not n4zis; they are only facilitating n4zis. Where I believe that facilitating n4zis makes one a n4zi… Is someone right here or are we simply both wrong?
